The Aid & Attendance Benefit At the state and federal levels, our government recognizes the steep costs affiliated with long-term, at- home or nursing home care. In an effort to ease financial burdens, there is a
benefit to assist eligible wartime veterans and their families with costly day-to-day living expenses. In the event of sudden disability, veterans and their family members should consider
this valuable benefit.http://www.veterans.ny.gov/content/aid-and-attendance-benefit
